She decides to use Titus, her new roommate, as a reference, and sets off for her interview.

With Titus' help, she practices her singing and tries to come up with a unique talent that will set her apart from the competition.

Meanwhile, Kimmy's landlord, Lillian, is having trouble with her neighborhood park being taken over by hipsters, and Titus' career as a struggling actor isn't getting any better. He decides to take a job as a werewolf in a haunted house to make some extra cash.

As the day of the talent competition approaches, Kimmy realizes that she has a lot of competition and begins to doubt herself. However, after witnessing the other contestants' unique talents, she realizes that what sets her apart is her resilience and ability to overcome challenges.
